Former World Chess Champion (10th to be specific) Boris Spassky has returned to the Russian Chess Federation from the French one. GM Spassky had emigrated to France in 1977, but had retained his Soviet citizenship and the right to represent Russia. It was only in the 1984 Autumn official Fide chess rating list that he was listed as part of the French Chess Federation. This announcement was made on Thursday.
